Havencare is a forward-thinking and growing charity. We have been making a difference for 35 years, changing the lives of people who have learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries, and other support needs. Our big aims include every person having a home that is right for them, and support for the life they choose.
At Havencare, first and foremost, we are looking for outstanding people who align with our values of Transparency, Quality and Engagement.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, resourceful and forward-thinking person and are excited to be recruiting a Support Worker to support individuals within our service in St. Austell.
About the St Austell Role:
This role is diverse and needs someone who can provide support and care to various people throughout their working day.
Each person has their own flat and receives a level of 1:1 support delivery at different times of the day and have access to a shared support hub.
The hub is a unique dimension to Supported Living and you will be supporting individuals as a point of contact, with their planned activities and personal care requirements, as well as moving & handling people and providing distress behaviour support (when required). The role would involve supporting aspects of day-to-day living, personal care and accessing the community. Support with planning meals, medication administration and most importantly developing relationships with family and peers.
We are looking for someone who can engage with different personalities and bring energy, adaptability, and commitment to a support role where every day is different. Yesterday you may have been watching a show at the Theatre in Plymouth. Today you may be supporting with daily living skills and shopping, and tomorrow, you may find yourself in Charlestown drinking coffee.
There is the opportunity to work directly with people depending on your interest and skills.
We also look at a combination of 1:1 support hours with individuals with complex needs and there will be times when you will be part of our core background support and delivering 2:1 support for specific tasks with individuals. You will need to be comfortable with supporting with personal care.
Do you have this flexible and skillful approach to people and support delivery?
Can you deliver communication in variable formats?
Do you understand or want to learn about supporting individualized sensory needs?
If you have said yes to anything you have read, then this could be the job for you, and we would love to hear from you.
Be a part of working in an environment that cares about people supporting people.
We are looking for both male and female candidates. A clean driving license would be beneficial.
About the Newquay Role:
''Hello my cockers, my name is Colleen, I am 72 with the heart of a 40-year-old. I live in Newquay.There is an exciting opportunity for you to join my team - this doesn't happen very often. If you love going out for dinner, watching surfers while sipping on a hot chocolate or generally spending your day going out and about, although I do enjoy relaxing evenings, then come work with me.
A love of music and the theatre would be fabulous, as would watching Strictly once the evenings start drawing in, as these are right up my street, or as I say "Lovely"
I like to go to slimming world - but you need to help me keep on track
I like going to Young at Heart on Thursdays and a Healthy Me group on Fridays.
I enjoy Gateway on a Friday evening and go with my boyfriend (and staff).
I love to meet with friends and family and chat on the phone lots too.
I go to a day centre twice a week.
I'm very capable and do lots around my house but am always happy for staff to muck in and at times take over, so I can have a cheeky rest I'm very house proud and love my home, so I do need support to keep it looking nice. I'm the best cooker in the world, but again am happy for staff to give me a night off
I do need reminders of appointments and you will need to support me to get to them. I need support with shopping, medication and getting around, but am fiercely independent, so will tell you "I can do it me'self" I'm fun to be around and like to chat nonstop, so if you think you can keep up with me, then please apply for this job
Applicants will be reviewed by my manager, but I will make the final decision on who joins my team.''
Desirable : You may have access to a vehicle with business cover for us to get out and about, but if not be confident with using the local buses as I have a bus pass, although do love getting a taxi.
About the usual working pattern for Newquay:
We are open to discuss whether this will be one or two people joining Colleen's team and the current rota pattern is as follows:
Week one: Monday 7.30am - 9.30am (following week 4 Sunday shift and sleep)
Week two: no hours this week
Week three: Friday 3.30pm - 10pm, Sleep-in shift and 8am - 10am on the Saturday following the sleep
Week four: Sunday 9:30am - 10pm, Sleep-in shift
